Abstract

Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS) is a rare type of neuromusculer conduction disorder. This disease can be seen with lung cancer and, it is associated with otoimmunity. Among the symptoms of lung cancer LEMS can be seen, but it is very rare. In this case, LEMS symptoms were analyzed before lung cancer symptoms. The localization of the tumor was near the pulmonary artery. By the early diagnose, the patient had the chance of cure.

Özet

Lambert-Eaton miyastenik sendromu (LEMS) nadir görülen bir nöromusküler iletim bozukluğudur. Akciğer karsinomları ile ilişkili olan hastalığın temelinde otoimmün mekanizmalar yatmaktadır. Günümüzde sık rastlanan ve mortal seyreden hastalıklar arasında olan akciğer kanserlerinin semptomları arasında oldukça seyrek de olsa LEMS'ye rastlanabilmektedir. Burada sunduğumuz olgu, akciğer kanseri semptomlarından önce LEMS semptomları sebebiyle tetkik edilerek, pulmoner arter komşuluğunda tümör saptanan bir olgudur. Olgu erken tanı ile tedavi şansı bulmuştur.
